A phenomenon known as cinematic neurosis may be considered a form of psychiatric crisis shaped by exposure to a film narrative that is emotionally and culturally significant to the individual. Scenes of the movie flash back in the minds of the viewers, at times culminating into illusions and hallucinations, leading to psychiatric disorders of otherwise normally functioning mind. Bozzuto 1975 suggested the term “cinematic neurosis” for symptoms developing in individuals, previously unidentified as psychiatric patients, after viewing a film.
Specific situations, reactions, consequences and emotional outburst of the victim of mind are made explicit in a poetic fashion by narrating the story in a Ballad form.
